KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 11 – The National Sports Institute (ISN) will provide support services to national cycling champion Datuk Azizulhasni Awang who is facing a difficult situation after his participation in the men’s keirin event at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games was canceled yesterday.
Head of the Malaysian Contingent to Paris 2024 Datuk Hamidin Mohd Amin said that after his appeal regarding the cancellation was rejected, the Malaysian contingent continued to give unwavering support to The Pocket Rocketman.
“The Chief Commissioner and representative of the world governing body UCI maintained the decision to cancel Azizulhasni’s participation due to overtaking the derny or motorized pacer that determines the pace in front of the group of riders before the pacer exits the race track.
“The Malaysian contingent reluctantly accepts this decision and will give unwavering moral support to him,” he said in a post on the National Sports Council’s Facebook account.
